1993 Honda Accord EX review from North America

Distributor at about 60,000.

Driver's window off track, fixed at 85,000.

Faulty locking mechanism in front passenger door, fixed at 85,000.

Catalytic converter (will fix at next smog test...2 years from now!)

This was my wife's car until we bought a new Mazda Tribute two years ago, and I sold my 1991 Civic. Now I drive this one.

Recently, I gave it a total makeover - new paint, custom upholstery grade seat covers in the front and back (leather was wearing in the driver's seat, and was faded and cracking in the back from neglect). Got the engine a major servicing, steam cleaned it, and fixed a couple of minor things mentioned above.

Now this car looks and drives like new. It's a great commuter vehicle, and has always been reliable. I love the interior now with its plush seats and leather trim on the doors, headrests, and rear wing panels, all polished up and looking great. It feels like a luxury car in there now. I put a CD stereo in it a couple of years ago, but plan on updating it soon with new speakers and a sub-woofer.

I've always been a fan of this generation of Accord. It has a very clean, classy look to it. Very unique, too. All the Accords since then have similarities, but none of the models look like the series from the early 90's (same goes for the late 80's Accords). A fun little car, I plan on keeping my Accord for many years to come.
